My favorite songs from this album are: You Never Give Me Your Money,Golden Slumbers,Polythene Pam (I also wish there were more to this song),Maxwell's Silver Hammer and Here Comes The Sun.Oh! Darling is one of the worst Beatles songs ever,I honestly can't stand it.Other then that this album is pretty good,Octopus's Garden is my favorite Ringo song ever from all his others.

Even though I completely do not share your view, I understand how you might feel this way.

Give the song a different perspective. I think I know what Paul was trying to accomplish in this song. If you listen to the vocals, Paul was trying to make a belt-em out screaming song. The piano is fairly simplistic. If you listen to at as a "melodic" song, there is not much there. If you imagine yourself in a small club with a singer and just his piano, the performance takes on a different slant.

This is something about many Beatles songs, that I think some people miss. I probably go on about this ad infinitum, but sometimes you have to take a step back. There are works of art that look horrible from one perspective, then when you look from a different angle and know what was going on in the artist's life and what he/she was attempting to communicate, the art takes on new meaning and can become beautiful. This process sometimes requires work.

I probably bored a few people with the above, and you probably didn't even read it.

Very well put. I honestly never thought about the song that way, but I still think it's one of their all-time best. It took me a few listens for it to sink in, but it was worth it.
